The Bronco name is back on a Ford showroom floor for the first time in 24 years.

Ford pulled the covers off the reborn 2021 Bronco family on July 13, 2020, ending nearly a quarter-century of speculation, spy shots, and fan campaigns. The lineup lands as a direct shot at the Jeep Wrangler, built around removable doors, a body-on-frame chassis, and off-road numbers Ford is happy to put next to Jeep’s on a spec sheet. Three distinct vehicles carry the name: the classic two-door, an all-new four-door, and the smaller, more street-oriented Bronco Sport.

• Ford unveiled the 2021 Bronco lineup on July 13, 2020, bringing back a nameplate that had been dormant for 24 years, split across two-door, four-door, and Bronco Sport body styles.
• The lineup spans seven trim levels — Base, Big Bend, Black Diamond, Outer Banks, Badlands, Wildtrak, and a limited First Edition — with two-door Base pricing starting at $29,995 including destination fees.
• The available 2.7-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 makes 310 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque, while the standard 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder produces 270 hp and 310 lb-ft, paired with a segment-first seven-speed manual with a dedicated crawler gear or a 10-speed automatic.

Two Doors, Four Doors, and a Different Kind of Bronco

The two-door model rides on a 100.4-inch wheelbase and leans hardest into the original 1966 Bronco’s silhouette — short overhangs, a boxy cab, and 35-inch tires available straight from the factory. The four-door stretches things out to a 116.1-inch wheelbase and a 189.4-inch overall length, trading a little bit of that stubby off-road agility for rear-seat room and cargo space without giving up the removable roof panels or the frameless, quick-release doors that stow right inside the vehicle.

The Bronco Sport is the odd one out on purpose. It’s built for buyers who want Bronco styling and genuine trail capability without committing to a body-on-frame rig, and it comes in five trims of its own — Base, Big Bend, Outer Banks, Badlands, and First Edition — with an 8.0-inch touchscreen and Ford’s Co-Pilot360 safety suite standard across the range.

The Off-Road Numbers Ford Is Leading With

Ford built this launch around specs, not vibes. The two- and four-door Bronco offer up to 11.6 inches of ground clearance, a 43.2-degree approach angle, and 33.5 inches of water-fording capability — figures the brand is putting front and center against the Wrangler. Dana 44 solid rear axles and available front and rear locking differentials back up the underpinnings, and the optional Sasquatch Package brings factory 35-inch tires for buyers who want the biggest footprint Ford sells off the lot.

Up to 11.6 inches of ground clearance and a 43.2-degree approach angle — numbers Ford built specifically to sit next to the Wrangler’s spec sheet.

Behind the wheel, the Terrain Management System runs Ford’s G.O.A.T. modes — “Goes Over Any Type of Terrain” — letting drivers dial in settings for mud, rock crawling, sand, or slick surfaces. Trail Control acts as low-speed off-road cruise control, and Trail Turn Assist tightens the turning radius on tight trails by braking an inside rear wheel. Inside, an available 12-inch SYNC 4 touchscreen anchors the cabin, a scale jump from the smaller displays typical of this class.

Reservations Open, Production Still Months Away

Ford opened $100 reservations the moment the reveal ended, and buyers signing up now are looking at a spring 2021 production start before anything hits dealer lots. For a nameplate that’s spent 24 years as a memory rather than a showroom vehicle, that waiting list is arguably the loudest number from the whole unveiling — proof of how much appetite there still is for the name.

Whether the new Bronco actually pulls sales away from the Wrangler won’t be settled by a livestream reveal or a spec-sheet comparison — it’ll be settled on trails and in showrooms once the first Badlands and Wildtrak trims start showing up with real delivery dates attached.
